Read http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/DebugXEWithEclipse to set up a proper environment. Then set a breakpoint somewhere inside a method that is called during the REST request. Then trigger a REST search and wait for Eclipse to stop at the breakpoint. From there, you can look at the variables to see if the parameter is decoded once or twice, go step by step over the lines to see how the request is further processed, or look at the stacktrace to look for an earlier place to put a breakpoint in case the bug already occurred earlier. -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/
